Tonite I've seen ONE of my friends in my hometown for about an hour before she went to the movies with her "new" boyfriend, that I also met for the first time. Sometimes it feels that our fellowship is somehow breaking, we are all somehow spread around (but not that much actually) and it looks like we are never able to see each other these days... big changes ahead, as more or less we have all started working or will soon by now, and that will probably mean even more spreading around (me first). Tomorrow (well, actually today) I'll be moving near Venice for the beginning of my training: I'm not living this very well, as the town where the training is taking place is supposedly shitty, a Venice suburb where all the port and metalworkers are based, not exactly engaging for a hippie youngster like me, plus the course is supposed to be very technical (more than I need) and not-so-exciting, but I'm trying to look at the bigger picture, as I can't really wait to start a new adventure after that, getting a real job! Today I went to visit a couple of grandparents with my parents and while driving back home we got this song... I was about to say on the radio but that's not true, I got just the beginning of it while we were getting out of a textiles outlet we stopped in on the way! Well, anyway, it stuck in my head and it seemed a legit post, as I've been in love with it since it came out in the summer of 2006!
After a few weeks of super strong commitment to the thesis, the time is right for letting go a little bit: everything seems to be good in my paper and more than a week before the deadline I only have to write a couple of conclusion pages and check that everything works smoothly! It feels like going back to normality a bit, usual Sunday with the family at grandma's... it's so weird, especially in these months of limbo, being not a student anymore but nothing else yet either, so many changes expected to happen in the next future under the professional point of view... and not only, changes are probably gonna happen in other fields too. I am a bit shocked when I come to think that my whole life will most likely change in the next year, roots ripped off the ground and well... I'm been subconsciously getting ready for that for quite a bit now, but thinking straight about it still makes me feel a bit of.... anguish. It's what I want anyway, a fresh start is something I could use and I'm ready, I will be ready...! In the end change is the only constant of life and you can never take things for granted too much, lucky me that I am usually able to fit into new situations quite quickly! Thinking about it, an album called "Hopes & Fears" works perfectly for today, and so does this (great great) song on it!
